CONSECUTIVE YEARS
When the late Charles A . Smith founded this business two
score years ago—well did he know that it would stand the test
of time—the foundation he built upon was G O O D S O U N D
BUSINESS J U D G M E N T . This business was further broadened
and completely modernized by the now president, Charles H.
Smith.
In those forty years we have seen and participated in the evolution
of the music industry, from the small reed organ to the square
piano, then to the upright, the player and the reproducing piano.
Our line of instruments today, which includes the Strohber
Diminutive, enables you, Mr. Merchant, to supply the wants of
E V E R Y O N E for a piano.
Get the benefit of our forty years' experience and let us show you
how to build a solid business that will weather the storms.
